Amidst the tranquil beauty of Grand Pré, once thrived a vibrant Acadian community, rooted in French heritage. Their peaceful existence was shattered in 1755, when the Deportation Order forced over 12,000 Acadians from their homeland. This poignant scene from Longfellow's "Evangeline" captures the heart-wrenching tale of separation and exile. The engraving "Exile of the Acadians from Grand Pré" and the color lithograph "The Home of Evangeline" serve as poignant reminders of this tragic chapter in history. #Acadians #Deportation #Longfellow #Evangeline #FrenchHeritage #GrandPré #History
